Set among the granite rocks of Gallura, in Arzachena, there is the Italian winery of Capichera, a family business which at the end of the 1970's, as a result of a great intuition, determined an important enological passage not only in Sardinia: it was the first winery to value with remarkable success the aging in barrique of pure Vermentino, proposing a model based on a production of very high quality and continuous research through a viticulture respectful and rigorous of the identity of the territory, allowing this grape to reveal its great peculiarities and characteristics.
Many authoritative critics of the sector still affirm that the history of Capichera is the history of quality Vermentino.
The passion, the investment of great resources and the improvement of the production model over the years have defined new and high quality standards, with a priority attention to each vineyard and single plot, enhancing its characteristics.
This process of development has led over time to achieve innovative and exclusive results not only on Vermentino but also on Carignano and Syrah, creating high-profile red wines, strongly identified with the Gallura territory and united by the same production philosophy.
Description
One of Capichera's great challenges: to be the first to vinify Vermentino in barriques. After fermentation and aging, VT is put on the market no earlier than two years after the harvest. In this way it can express its strong, unmistakable and deep character, so much to be often considered the most representative wine of the high quality of Capichera wines.
Organoleptic characteristics:
Color: straw yellow with light golden reflections, crystal clear
Nose: intense and complex with notes reminiscent of orange blossom, lemon, aromatic herbs, wisteria, lavender flowers, licorice and citrus honey
Palate: dry but at the same time lively and warm, rich and pulpy, with citrus and honeyed tones, the finish is long and caressing with great aftertaste persistence.
